How to Choose a Pentair Heater

  1. Gas or heat pump. Gas heats fast in any weather and suits spas and on-demand heating. A heat pump costs far less to run but heats slower and works best when the air is above about 50°F, which covers most of the Las Vegas swim season.
  2. Fuel type. Order NG (natural gas) or LP (propane) to match your gas supply. Only convert with a manufacturer-approved kit for that exact model.
  3. Size. See the sizing guide below. When in doubt, go one size up: a larger heater reaches temperature faster and runs fewer hours.
  4. Heat exchanger. Choose HD / cupro-nickel for salt systems, spas or water that runs out of balance.
  5. Replacing an old unit? Send us the existing model, serial number, BTU rating, fuel type, plumbing size and photos of the equipment pad. We'll compare plumbing height, gas connection, venting and footprint before you order.

Sizing Guide: How Big a Heater Do I Need?

A gas heater raises your pool roughly this many degrees per hour: (BTU × efficiency) ÷ (gallons × 8.34). Example: a 400,000 BTU heater at 84% efficiency on a 20,000-gallon pool adds about 2°F per hour.

Pool size Gas heater Heat pump
Spa only (under 1,000 gal) 125K–200K BTU Not ideal for spas
Up to 15,000 gal 200K–260K BTU 100K–120K BTU
15,000–25,000 gal 300K–400K BTU 120K–140K BTU
Over 25,000 gal or commercial 400K BTU, ASME, or two units Multiple units

Pool and spa combo? Size for the pool, and go 400K if you want the spa hot fast.

Pentair Heater FAQ

What's the difference between MasterTemp and Max-E-Therm?

Both are Pentair heaters built on the same platform. Max-E-Therm carries the Sta-Rite name and is often chosen to match an existing Sta-Rite equipment pad.

Do I need an ASME heater?

Usually only for commercial pools or where local code requires it. Residential pools use the standard models.

Can a Pentair heat pump cool my pool?

Yes. The Heat/Cool (H/C) UltraTemp models can chill the water, which helps in Las Vegas summers when pool water climbs into the 90s.

Will it work with my automation?

Many Pentair heaters integrate with compatible Pentair automation for scheduling, spa temperature control and remote operation. See Pentair Pool Automation.
